What is a stock [infographic] ?

by

I have earlier covered details on what is a stock. If you haven’t read it yet, please do so now.

In the meanwhile, I laid my hands of an infographic which explains the basics of what a stock is very beautifully. In it, you will also find a history of the stock market but that is more from a US perceptive and not India’s.

The infographic also explains why a person should buy a stock and basically talks about long term investing concepts.

Let me know how you find this beautiful infographic from mint.com.

And yes, please leave behind your comments.

    Amazing stuff… Did not know Stock Trading existed in 1300. I guess BSE is also 100 years old.

    My Dad has some shares of Bank of Baroda(approx 1 lakh)……bought 10 yrs back and have share certificate in paper . I have below queries:
    1)Can he transfer the same to me……if yes then how will the process take place as he holds the shares in paper format.Will my Demat account sufficient for this transfer or need to go through broker.
    2)As per my understanding it will be benificial if he sell the shares when the prices are high…and I buy when the prices are low.But I have to pay to broker in that case I think.Can you express your idea on the same

    Regards,

      1) Check with your DEMAT (ICICI Direct / Kotak Securities etc etc) on how the process will be – as far as I think, yes it can be transferred.
      2) Sell if you do not have the ability to track shares. Hold if you can – simple !!
